Wonderful quiet and cosy guesthouse, twin suite was ideal for two travellers. Simple but complete breakfast served in the morning to your room. Convenient to get to Cowsgate and central, both very walkable and easy access to get to by bus if travelling with luggage.

10/10 Exceptional

Basically in the middle of Edinburgh. I was travelling solo, so I got a single room. The bathroom was detached, but very nice. The room was small, but adequate. The staff was great, and the morning breakfasts were delicious.

Perfect and not expensive property in Edinburgh. Private parking, good breakfast. Just 10 minutes by bus to the city center.
Tomáš, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Breakfast was minimal. Served on a tray in the room. No way to mingle with other guests. An old dated converted home. 1.5 miles from the royal mile. Dinner choices were a 1 mile walk round trip. It was just basic and off the beaten path.
Walter, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I really liked the quieter location of the accomodation, the owners were so friendly, and the breakfast every modning was really good. The rooms were a bit noisy though.

Our party of 4 had spacious rooms. They were exceptionally clean. And there was a wide variety and hearty enough options for the continental breakfast to tide us over until lunchtime. Close to the bus stops. Would definitely stay there again & highly recommend.
